A Magical Course in Tarot

This book is by far one of the easiest to understand and yet fully explained How-to books on tarot. Morgan teaches in a clear and concise method how to allow your natural intuition and subconscious speak to you through the cards. Beautifully illustrated from a unique perspective so the reader won't get hung up on specific imagery. Excellent book!

I was fortunate enough to take Michele's Intuitive Tarot class several years ago. It totally freed me do readings intuitively, and as a result , more acurately and with more depth. Her book is just like the class, fun, informative, and easy to understand. It makes her experience and what she has to teach accessible to everyone. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who wants, needs, or is being guided to an understanding of the Tarot beyond 'book learning'.

I absolutely LOVED this book. For years I've tried memorizing the definitions of all the various cards in a tarot deck, and on more than several occasions found myself "looking up" the answers. But since I've read this book I know that the answers are within me and I sometime will check what my intuition says vs. THE DEFINITION and amazingly enough they are nearly EXACT! It is truly amazing how her outlook of tarot has helped me understand it better. Consider this book a way of "fine tuning" your mind so that you may better listen to the powers that be. Read it, then enjoy reading the cards for a change!!

I have been a student of the tarot for the past three years, and have read so many books and how to manuals! Then along comes Michele Morgan's "A Magical Course in Tarot".- And Believe me it truly is magical! The book is at once partly traditional in nature, but totally refreshing because Michele Morgan also offers us a renewed way to view all the traditional attitudes about Tarot, while at the same time allowing and encouraging the reader to experiment and lean toward your own feelings, interpretations and intuition. Reading this book was a liberating experience for me. The expamples and excercises she uses in the book are easy to do and create an interactive tarot card adventure. Most important is Michele's tongue in cheek writing style. Never forcing or overwhelming, she has the ability to laugh at herself, and to be free to explore new territory. She incorporates simple explanations, with an often humorous writing style the reader can easily relate to. The reader will feel as if he knows Michele or would like to meet her. I read this book very quickly because of her writing style, and would highly recommend it to any one interested in the tarot. It doesn't matter if you are an oldie or a newbie. Read this book!

I have been attracted to tarot for many, many years but never could make sense of the booklets that come with the decks or the books you can buy separately. I would do a spread, read the booklet and then say, "ok this makes a little sense, but not much," and put the deck away for another year. Then along comes this book! Wow, what an eye-opener. Michele Morgan takes the reader on a beautiful journey to their own intuition using tarot. The cards finally make sense because I intrepret them for me, instead of by trying to wade through jumbled meanings, user guidelines, and rules. Everything in the card is looked at to enhance your understanding--colours, numbers, figures, how one card meshes into another--it's brilliant. It doesn't matter what deck you use--this book is appropriate to all of them, because it teaches you to listen to yourself. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a clear, satisfying, and EASY, tarot reading!

Michele Morgan has created this lovely book with amazing sensitivity, humor, and brilliant insight. She treats her readers with utmost respect, encouraging us to tap into the deep well of guidance and knowledge within. Her contemporary, fresh approach to every aspect of tarot is well grounded in ancient truth. You'll find everything from how to choose and care for your decks to rituals and simple ideas for connecting to their symbolism and imagery. Each card (including the minor arcana) is simply and beautifully illustrated by Rebecca Richards--so beautifully, in fact, that I wish Ms. Morgan and Ms. Richards would create their own original boxed set! This magical and marvelous book is perfect for beginners, and will give seasoned tarot readers (like me) a delightful, poetic journey through this most beloved form of divination. This book has immediately joined my list of all time favorite tarot books!
